Chris Christie criticized Donald Trump and other Republican candidates during the fourth Republican presidential primary debate.
Christie defended Nikki Haley against insults from Vivek Ramaswamy and accused Ron DeSantis of being supported by companies with ties to China.
The debate focused more on narrow policy differences rather than discussing Trump's electability or fitness for office.
In the fourth Republican presidential primary debate, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie emerged as a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, calling him unfit for another term and highlighting his criminal indictments. Christie stood by his low poll numbers, stating that he is the only one willing to speak the truth and hold Trump accountable. He also criticized his GOP opponents for their reluctance to criticize Trump, suggesting that they may have future political aspirations.
The debate also featured attacks on Nikki Haley, who has been rising in the polls. Christie defended Haley against insults from Vivek Ramaswamy and accused Ron DeSantis of being supported by companies with ties to China. Despite these sharp exchanges, the debate focused more on narrow policy differences rather than discussing Trump's electability or fitness for office.
Christie's criticism of Trump was not echoed by other candidates, leading to a debate that was marked by personal attacks and differences in policy beliefs. DeSantis and Ramaswamy criticized Haley's stance on transgender rights and her ties to wealthy donors. However, these criticisms were not backed by evidence that it influenced her policies, leading to some accusations of deception.
Despite the intense clashes, the debate had little impact on Trump's popularity with the base. The candidates engaged in sharp but narrow fights, with Christie describing Trump as an 'angry bitter man.' The debate highlighted the divisions within the Republican party, with Christie positioning himself as a truth-teller willing to confront Trump.
